Oh. OP suggested blocking the wheels and you said why wouldn’t you.
I guess you meant why wouldn’t you to him talking to his neighbors. To that I agree. I miss the days where neighbors all knew each other and regularly talked.

People don’t like being told they’re wrong. Especially on their own stuff. Kind suggestions to a neighbor will go better than just unsolicited blocking their trailer. Imagine them hitching up within hours of this picture being taken, start to drive off and then damage their trailer coming off makeshift blocks that you so graciously put there without their consent.
Sure bud. I can tell most people here like to huddle around their favorite apps browsing lemmy and have strong opinions on things that honestly have no bearings on them.
This isn’t affecting you. 9/10 that trailer isn’t going anywhere.
You suppose they’ll be thankful for pointing out they’re incompetent at blocking their trailer?
A kind suggestion would go miles
So dramatic. People don’t like being told they’re doing something wrong. You can suggest but yes. Their stuff their mistakes.
Man it doesn’t even need to devolve into a debate. You get berated just for having an opinion on something more and more. That’s the problem with the voting system anyways. People that don’t share an opinion with you shouldn’t even have an option to down vote. Just don’t vote at all. Up votes are for shared opinions. But even then the biggest gripe I had with reddit was the system has the up voted “popular” comments as the most viewed as well, leaving the opinions of people unseen without looking for them.
People are impressionable. If they see everyone agreeing with a comment they feel they need to skew their opinion towards the common dissent or risk being alienated. We’re communal creatures. And social media screwed with our heads with the need to fit in.
I agree. I already tend to get tossed into a category because I don’t agree with a majority of the user base. If people can get categorized more by how they vote, and lemmy users are already pretty savvy, I can see a scenario where people get tagged.
It’s the new deal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Funny enough it’s the ac systems I’m comfortable with. Thanks again for all the advice.
I’m taking my master exam in 3 weeks lol. How I know so little about photovoltaics is embarrassing. But I can get a diagram and design built easily enough. I’ll call them Monday to discuss what they need.
OK that’s amazing. Thank you for this information. Yes with the rebate I’m paying $15k.
That was my concern, if I do it myself would I still get the rebate. I’ll call PSE on Monday and ask if I will get the rebate and if I can also opt into the 1 to 1 net metering.
OK I want to look into doing it myself. Where would I start with the resources?
My only reason I wanted to tie to grid is to get in on the NEM that my local energy company offers. A 1 to 1 net metering. I live in Seattle and getting that energy back in the winter is worth it for me
What numbers? I ran the numbers to purchase 18 panels with IQ8+ micro inverters, the solar edge inverter, the infrastructure and misc and it came out to just $3-4k under the $15k I’ll be paying. That $3-4k covers will be the cost of install and to get me onto PSE’s last few 1 to 1 net metering programs.
Yeah he should me what it would cost with a lower interest rate. I hate door to door sales men so I made him work. We say down and calculated every panel, micro inverter, framing, inverter, and permits and it came out to around $11k for just material. I’m paying $4k more for install of it all since I’m only paying 15k with the incentive. They’re obviously making more.
I looked everywhere to see if I can get the incentive if I buy and install the panels myself but I couldn’t find any details on that. It would turn a 15k system to a 12k system with my own labor
Yeah? Maybe. I just want to get in before PSE stops the 1 to 1 net metering.
I’m supposed to be getting an Enphase IQ8 micro inverter. I can’t see a kw rating on that though when I look it up. It looks like they go directly with each panel.
Mam that is tempting. I’m an electrician but I never dove into photovoltaics.
Yeah net metering with PSE 1 to 1.
Oh no worries. I misunderstood you.
